grandpa
To the world, he was another male
but only if you could see his eyes, they told another tale
he stood up when no one did
was being judged and trenched
those days buried his soul
they drank it like another soup bowl
if we could see the fumes bring out the heat
he brought out to feed
the poor minds who were in need
only satiated his greed
were the only people who were seen
near the graveyard where he was buried deep
to the materialistic world, he renounced
the words were so sweet the way he pronounced
lost his voice through the echo
as he murmured his chants
in the dimly litted lamps
as he prayed his way out of the misery he suffered through his own hands
seeked peace through his little naps
but this time he slept so deep
that even life couldnt peep its way in and creep
to the poor old and meek he would speak
not to the living, but the restless souls wailing through the creeks
his interest in the humans were lost
to achieve nirvana , his life was the cost
he knew the answers to his questions werent easily met
so he searched in depth and got his answers when he finally laid to rest
the knowledge was stolen and kept under the crest
for all you sane people, it is the best
who are influenced by the west
in my dreams he hasn't yet come
but i want to convey what a changed man i have become
rarely i spoke to him, here he is looking over my living tent
the laws of the hypocritical society he bent
and all the he meant couldnt be acheived before he went
all i need is my respect to be sent
as the days ahead i will spend
in regret, not meeting my grandpa has caused a dent
i should have stopped people to steal away his pride
his secrets died and to the laws of the dead he did abide
and in the bright morning i held my mothers head high
as she sadly said ,while i watcher her tears strike in a low tide
your grandpa is no more , he left without saying bye
